38 years ago today Katina was stolen from her family near Iceland :( ....via Declare Cetacean Rights....Lets send some love to #Blackfish Katina...she currently resides at $eaWorld Orlando and was captured off the coast of Iceland in 1976 at the age of two. Please check out and share this short story written in her perspective. Upon her capture, Katina was purchased by Marineland in Niagara Falls, Canada, where she was first named Kandu 6. She was shipped to the facility soon after. However, she did not spend much time there. Sometime between April and June 1979, Katina was bought by $eaWorld. She was sent to their park in San Diego. In 1982, Katina was moved to the park in Ohio with another female named Kasatka, with whom she was captured in 1978. For two years, the two would perform in the Ohio park during the summer months and then be moved back to San Diego for the winter. Finally, in September or October 1984, Katina was transferred to the $eaWorld in Orlando. She has remained there ever since. Of her 7 calves, only 2 remain with her today. One is in CA, one in TX and 3 (including Kalina, Baby Shamu) have died.
